Dragoncon '08: Persona 3 HELP NEEDED!!!

edited June 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
Ok so I'm gonna come right out and say I'm in some DEEP shite right now. My friends and I are SUPPOSED to be cosplaying as the characters of Persona 3 for Dragoncon this year and to be honest we're SCREWED. It's our first con and we predictably screwed the pooch on waiting til the last damn second to actually get things together. That being said we need, no BEG, for help in finding costumes and wigs (especially Mitsuru's) and would welcome ANY help in finding these. So if anyone knows a good place to find some GOOD Persona 3 crap let us know.


Characters we're going as:

Minato Arisato (Main Character)
Mitsuru Kirijo
Junpei Iori
Chihiro Fushimi (Brunette with glasses, social link of Justice)
Akihiko Sanada
Pharos

(Update: We are aware of the costumes on eBay)

    If you're really screwed on time then just buy some matching suits and dress pants for the guys, but if you look at the artwork you'll notice there are zippers and such on the jackets that would require custom tailoring to be really accurate.

    See that's the problem though. Our original idea was to just buy some clothes that looked like the costumes and that's when we discovered that little problem you mentioned. It's not so easy for untalented slobs like us to tailor something that well. So our search continues.

    Well there's folks who can tailor such things for you (look for "tailors" in the yellow pages), but I don't know how much that sort of thing would cost, or how long it would take.

    Lol I didn't even think of that. We might be able to do something like that (depending on cost) and actually have pretty good costumes in time. I'll try it. Thanks.

    I have a friend who has a sister who makes costumes... I don't know her rates and I lost his number. If I see him around school I'll mention something.

    Also, I know he plays WoW on the Shatterd Hand server. If I still had an account I would message him.

    Regardless I want to see your costumes come Dragon Con :P

    If you do happen to find anyone who has good costume supplies, you should let us know. I know some people going to PAX were going to try going as P3 characters.

    Go with their summer clothes. Much easier to do and not technically a copout.
